  1. I know, I’ve probably watched them all ????
  2. Thinking about it I don’t think I’ve ever seen wholemeal ciabatta. My guess is that because it’s difficult to stretch wholemeal , the grain breaks the gluten strands, it just won’t work. I only tried ciabatta once and failed miserably but I should try again now that I’m more experienced.
  3. It’s a very forgiving recipe and easy to adapt so it’s my basis for just about everything. Hope it works for you.
  4. Because they want to.
  5. Please back up your wild assertions with evidence.
  6. 500g flour 350ml water 10g salt 7-8g yeast 1 egg optional 15-20ml oil optional if you use oil and egg which improves the texture then reduce the water by the same amount. Basic recipe which I adapt according to what kind of bread.. Sugar is totally unnecessary
  7. It’s all about the percentage of protein in the flour. Bread flour has a higher percentage. It’s better for forming the gluten. All purpose works and for some types of bread it’s preferred.
  8. Best thing about lockdown was finding out I can bake my own bread.
  9. I think I’ll stick to my own recipe/ method thanks ????
  10. Another day another PM vowing to crackdown on corruption
  11. This reminds of when Boris Johnson was rushed to hospital with Covid, nearly died and was back in the office a couple of days later, similar to the stunts pulled by Trump and Bolsonaro.
  12. What on earth are you on about?
  13. No, obvious that you really don’t care, particularly about people less fortunate than yourself.
  14. Yeah you’d have to be filthy rich to leave more than 12 baht tip.
  15. That’s pretty obvious.
  16. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve regretted leaving a tip. I don’t want anyone to grovel, that’s not why I tip, but to feel like you’ve done something wrong is not on!
  17. Am I supposed to be sympathetic ? Am I supposed to understand why you’re stingy? Am I supposed to care?
  18. A blanket Europeans don’t tip is utter nonsense on a continent of 500 million people.
  19. Would it kill you to give 80 baht? Just because you haven’t seen a Thai person give a tip doesn’t mean some don’t. Just another attempt at justifying stinginess IMO
  20. Weird because I see Thais tipping regularly
  21. Whether it’s the norm or not is irrelevant, it’s absolutely right to tip for good service and it will always be appreciated. Those who are so vehemently against tipping are just too stingy.
  22. What difference does that make to you?
  23. Because it would make decent person feel good to show appreciation for someone doing a not very well paid job.
